Ran out of time two days in a row to record my thoughts. I'm chewing on Psalm 113 and 114. Keep thinking about the word "forever" in relation to how long we are to praise the Lord. That made me think of how NOTHING on this earth is forever. Everything always comes to an end eventually - and no person, no matter how powerful, has a forever rule. In fact, most people who do end up in a ruling/leadership position don't even get praised for a short lifetime. And many are deserving of more than just criticism. Yet, God is so great, so perfect, that it is completely appropriate to praise him ALL the time, FOREVER.
What's more - the rest of Psalm 112 goes on to talk about his gracious, loving character... how he exalts the humble and helps the poor and needy.
I love that we can praise God forever - and that His character is such that our praise for Him will never be undeserved. He is, was, and always will be worthy of our praise!
